39wks

So tomorrow I am officially 39wks pregnant and I now know there is an end in sight. Since Baby Hoadley has decided not to be cooperative, he/she will be born Saturday Jan 9th at 9am via C-Section. I made today my last day at work so that I can have a couple of days to relax and get a few more small things done before the baby gets here. Friday I go in for my pre-testing(blood work etc.) for the surgery, then Sat we have to be at the hospital bright and early to get prepped and ready for surgery. It might be a little while, but I will be sure to get on and post how the delivery goes and put some pics up as well after I get home from the hospital.

37wks

I am now 37wks. I went to the Dr. on Christmas Eve day and the baby is still breech. Dr. Harrington wants to give it a couple of weeks to see if it turns. So I go back next week and then the week after that probably the 6th or 7th of Jan I go back again and if the baby is still in breech position they will schedule a c-section for that Fri or Sat I think he said. Since the baby isn't moving much at this point, I don't know if it will turn or not, but we'll see.
Hope everyone had a great X-mas. I know we did. Alexa got lots of goodies and seemed happy with everything she got, so as long as she had a good x-mas that makes our x-mas good.
Shane has started tearing up the old part of the house, I now have no kitchen. I am sure he will get it put back together quickly. Until then we are eating microwave dinners.
Ok, well I will keep you all updated on the status of the baby.

Almost 36wks

Ok, so once again I have been slacking on the posts. Went to the Dr. on the 9th of Dec and the baby is still in breech position. They said they weren't too concerned, but you could tell they were a little bit. Now I have to have another sonogram next week to see if the baby has decided to turn yet. I will be almost 37wks at that point and if it hasn't turned by then they will schedule a C-Section. I really hope that doesn't happen, but if so I know it will be best for myself and the baby so I am ok with it.
I was feeling really good until these past couple of days and now I have horrible heartburn, my feet look like Fred Flinstones and they hurt on top of it all. I have had a little bit of swelling here and there so far, but it usually goes down overnight. Last night that didn't happen, my feet were still swollen when I woke up this morning and they hurt all day at work. If they are still swollen tomorrow I am going to call the Dr. just to make sure I shouldn't worry about it. Better safe than sorry.
I still have some last minute shopping to do so I plan to get that all done tomorrow as well as getting my bag packed for the hospital. I can't believe it's getting so close that I need to be worried about my bag being packed. After X-mas I am sure it will go very fast and before we know it we will have our little baby home with us.
Ok, well I will keep you all updated next week on if the baby decides it wants to turn the right direction or not.

33-34wks

Ok, so I have been slacking on posting. I am now almost 34wks I think. We have about 6wks left, that is if the baby decides to show up on or near it's due date. I realize that it could be 4wks from now or could be 8wks from now, depending on when the baby decides it's ready. I have one last sonogram next week so that they can see if the baby is in the correct position, then I have weekly appts from then on. I really can't believe it's so close. Luckily Shane just got the house done and we are actually going to set the crib and stuff up tonight. He has worked so hard on everything and I know he is just as excited as me that it's done and he can relax for a little while before he starts remodeling the rest of the house.
We have our Childbirth Prep class this weekend. We get to take a tour of the hospital, well at least the Maternity area and Nursery. I have never been in the hospital in my life so hopefully this will give me a little bit of an idea of what to expect. They obviously also will discuss all of the options you have for labor and deliver and teach us relaxation excercises and all of that good stuff. I am very excited to go.
Well that's all I have to update you on for right now. I will keep the posts coming as the time gets closer.

31 Wks-It's getting so close

Yesterday was officially 31wks and also exactly 2months until my due date. I can't believe it. Since my last post I have gone to the Dr. again. Everything is looking great. I am measuring right where I should be and gaining weight just like I should. The baby's heartbeat sounds great and he/she is moving alot more now. I am starting to be able to feel little body parts sticking out and poking me. I am going to miss the movement once the baby is born.

I have had both of my showers now. My family shower was on Nov 7th. It was so nice to see everyone and I got lots of great stuff. My work shower was just this past Friday on the 13th. I can't wait to put everything I got at both showers to use. I also can't wait until the baby's room is done(which should be soon) so that I can put everything away and get organized.

Also here are some belly pics that I just took today.

30wks

I am now almost 30wks pregnant. I am amazed at how fast this is going. I had a sonogram today and the baby looks good. Everything is where is it suppose to be and working like it should. The sono tech said he/she is about 2lbs 15oz now. We got some great pictures which I will add to the post as well. She just gave us pictures of the babies profile because apparently he/she is very proud and had his/her legs spread so she didn't show us or print any other pictures that might have shown us wheter its a boy or a girl. Right now the baby's head is under my right ribs and it's curled up and around with it's feet under my left ribs and up by it's head. I am still feeling good except for some pretty severe heartburn every once in a while.

Ok, well I have another appt next week to check on me and how I am doing so I will continue to keep you all updated.

29 Wks

Well I am now 29 weeks pregnant. Still feeling good, except for the occasional heartburn. I had my gestational diabetes test this past week and the results were normal, so I can continue to eat all of my sweet snacks that I like.
I start my appts at the Dr. every 2 weeks at this point. I actually have an appt this week for a sonogram and then next week just for a normal appt to chk bp,weight and all of that stuff. Not sure why they aren't doing it all at once except for the fact that my sono appt is with the actual sono tech and my other appt is with Dr. Harrington. I can't believe we only have a little more than 10wks until my due date. So if this baby decides to come early we have even less time than that. I can't believe how fast this is going.
Next weekend is my baby shower and I am so excited to see everyone.
Ok, well I will keep you updated with all of my appts and stuff. If my computer would cooperate I will get some more pics downloaded as well.
